Overview

The Diploma in Art (Dip.Art) is a two-year, 48-credit-hour programme offered by the School of Art at the University of Manitoba, providing foundational training in studio art practice. Admission requires a high school diploma and a portfolio submission, without the mathematics and written English course requirements that the Bachelor of Fine Arts programme mandates. Year one covers 24 credit hours of foundational studio courses including drawing, figure study, visual language, and an introduction to art history, alongside materials-based studies. Year two consists of 24 credit hours of elective studio courses chosen from specialized areas such as sculpture, painting, ceramics, printmaking, photography, and digital media, plus academic electives. The diploma offers a direct pathway to further study: graduates are eligible to apply for the B.F.A. (General) degree, continuing into bachelor's-level studies.
